Custom Cable Assemblies · Melbourne, Australia
A gear shift cable also called a shifter cable or gear-selector cable connects the gear lever to the transmission so your hand movement selects the gears. TGA Cables manufactures custom and replacement shift cables for manual and automatic transmissions, in carbon or stainless steel and any length, built to your exact specification and supplied Australia-wide. From a like-for-like replacement to a discontinued or improved-spec cable, we’ll match it.
A gear shift cable is a control cable running between the gear shifter and the gearbox or selector mechanism. When you move the lever, the inner cable slides inside its outer conduit and transmits that motion to the transmission to select a gear smoothly and around the bends of the vehicle’s layout, where a solid rod couldn’t fit. The same principle applies to manual gearboxes, automatic selector cables and industrial transmission controls.

Send the old cable or a photo of the installation and we’ll match the length and fittings.

A gear shift cable (also called a shifter cable or gear-selector cable) connects the gear lever to the transmission, transmitting your hand movement to select gears. It’s used on both manual and automatic transmissions.
Difficulty selecting or engaging gears, a loose or notchy lever, the indicator not matching the actual gear, or a stretched cable giving vague shifts. A frayed or snapped cable can leave the vehicle stuck in one gear.
Yes. We build replacement shift and selector cables to match your original length, routing and end-fittings, including discontinued cables. Send the old cable or a photo and we’ll manufacture a replacement.
We manufacture custom and replacement shift cables to suit a wide range of popular vehicle brands and applications, manual and automatic. If a factory cable is unavailable, we can build one to spec.
Carbon steel is the standard, economical choice; stainless steel adds corrosion resistance for harsh or marine environments and longer life. We supply both (order code X=3 carbon, X=4 stainless).
Record the overall length, the end-fitting type at each end and the mounting configuration or simply send us the old cable or a clear photo and we’ll match every dimension.
